COOLING SYSTEM 3. Disconnect the radiator bottom hose and allow the coolant to drain into a suitable container. Use a clean container if the coolant solution is to be reused. Reconnect the bottom hose after draining and tighten the hose clamp.

4. Remove the engine drain plugs, one each side of the cylinder block, beneath the exhaust manifolds. Allow the coolant to drain and refit the plugs.
